Description
Circa 1791 Liverpool Halfpenny. Musante GW-19, Baker-17, W-10650. Copper. Lettered Edge. Fine-12 (PCGS).
27.9 mm. 138.1 grains. Medium brown with a couple of very small reddish deposits in the recesses and a trace of microgranularity visible under magnification. Reasonably well centered, but on a flan that was too small, as usual, so some of the upper letters of the legends on both sides are slightly off the edge. A couple of small obverse digs are somewhat obscured by the degree of wear, while three voids in the central head look to be flan flaws. Pleasing enough for the grade and a scarcer issue overall. The lettered edge device on this piece is somewhat overlapped from slippage in the application process.
PCGS# 698. NGC ID: 2B7H.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex American Heritage Minting, Inc., Jenkintown, PA.
